Scots Festival, Los Angeles (Feb. 16-17)

Eighty-eight
years ago, in the quaint seaside town of Clydebank, Scotland,
construction began on the Queen Mary. Exemplifying the finest
craftsmanship of the country, the Queen Mary’s heritage is celebrated
throughout the two-day ScotsFestival honoring Scottish culture.

The Queen Mary is pleased to welcome back the annual ScotsFestival
& International Highland Games XXVI February 16 & 17 (9AM -
6PM). Experience the rich culture and history of Scotland first hand
through an array of authentic activities, athletics, dancing,
entertainment and cuisine, paying homage to the Queen Mary’s Scottish
legacy.

ScotsFestival honors nearly fifty Scottish clans & vendors
throughout the weekend with professional and amateur competitions in
piping, drumming, massed bands, darts, Highland dancing, and the brand
new North American Professional Highland athletics. The Scottish
Highland Games, a precursor to today’s Olympic Games, were designed to
test the strength, skill, and technique of ancient warriors through
face-offs. With falconry, sheep herding and a large array of other
activities, guests will have culture at every turn!

Whisky tasting sessions with aged malt experts are available for
adult festivalgoers while the wee laddies & lassies can bear witness
to Queen Mary’s coronation, knighting ceremonies, and even take part in
the Wee Highland games.
